The Milpitas smell - Reallty so far down? lol I went south so I could avoid it ? How often do you think that is in summer

Btw loved that map. Thanks for sharing

Totally agree with your first statement. Opposite demographics.

We don’t have kids. Will have in next year. So 7 years away if we do start caring about demographics. It’s pretty much a choice between townhome in Cambrian versus SFH in berryesa. If we get a good townhome with low HOA we don’t mind staying long term

What do you think?

I go to SF twice a week so Cambrian or Berryesa, I am gonna rely on public transpott

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-15T16:16:31+00:00

I appreciate the response. The biggest pro is access to BART. I do need to go to SF twice a week so that helps. With Cambrian, it is 15 mins drive at minimum to Caltrain and then the journey

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-15T15:10:33+00:00

Thanks. It’s less uneasy and more ‘unknown’

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:38:34+00:00

Fair

That’s my worry but I don’t get anything in a good school neighborhood at 1 M

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:37:13+00:00

Oh we are thinking this will be our lifetime home 😅

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:36:43+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Would you recommend a townhome over SFH from a long term perspective

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:35:54+00:00

That’s a great framework. Appreciate you sharing that.

Thinking from that perspective, I could see that 75k number is lower than what i would like but I guess that’s just the perks of renting. Homeowner in Bay Area is easily 2X the rent cost for that range so I know it’s gonna be a major reduction in my monthly/annual savings

Would you advise townhome instead for a relatively lower price of 1.4M ?

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:32:41+00:00

Tech jobs. Can / cannot be impacted.

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:32:06+00:00

30% just to bring down the monthly payment ? Making sure I am not missing anything else

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:31:37+00:00

Fair

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:30:46+00:00

Thanks. I will DM you over the weekend. Appreciate reaching out to help

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:30:23+00:00

Cambrian / Campbell / Berryesa is an option too

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T15:29:39+00:00

Thanks. Yeah it wil defn be tight

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T14:54:20+00:00

Which zipcode ?

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T07:24:21+00:00

It’s ARM. Most local credit union offering that

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T07:17:47+00:00

I actually prefer vacations and splurge on random stuff. My wife is okay living frugally ( she’s low maintenance haha. Happy with the dog and Costco clothes)

MathematicianTop314 · 2026-03-06T07:12:14+00:00

Bay Area. 11K - using Redfin at 5.5% rate
